Titanfall 2 – All Titans Detail and Gameplay Strategy

Titanfall 2 has 6 new ways to think about Titans and how to operate them by giving you six very different Titans from which to choose. Each Titan is extremely customizable, which means even though each Titan has its own style.

Titan kits are available to all Titans; these are selectable additions to your Titan that can change the style at which you perform some actions. Each kit is different, and they affect different parts of the Titan.

Assault Chip

Improves Auto-Titan precision and enables the use of offensive and utility abilities

Stealth Auto-Eject

Automatically eject and Cloak when your Titan is doomed, preventing Pilot death

Turbo Engine

Adds one extra dash

Overcore

Your Titan starts with a 20 percent head start on their Core’s build time

Energy is something that is unique to Ion, indicated by a bar on the left. Everything that Ion utilizes uses up energy, and that energy replenishes over time but it is to keep you from continuously using your abilities. Ion is equipped with a Laser Shot, which will do a high amount of damage.

Ion is equipped with a Trip Wire that can be dropped to block the path of an enemy Titan as they are chasing you. As a defense mechanism, Ion has the classic Vortex Shield, which can both block attacks and projectiles and launch them back.

Scorch:

Damage: 3/3

Health: 3/3

Mobility: 1/3

Abilities

Flame Core

Thermite shock wave that engulfs targets along its path

Thermal Shield

Tempered Plating

Decreased self-damage from your own thermite

Inferno Shield

Increased damage and duration for Thermal Shield

Fuel for the Fire

Firewall lasts longer

Gameplay Strategy:

Fire is the essence of Scorch; this Titan is made for full-on offense. Because of speed of Ogre chassis, you may need some extra help. Equip Turbo Engine to give your Titan a boost, a boost that this Titan has none of by default.

Try not to overlap your Incendiary Trap with the Firewall to help spread out the damage. Scorch Thermal Shield does not capture any ordnance or expended ammunition, but it will destroy it, as well as other Titans that come close.

Utilize Scorch to the best of its ability by setting Incendiary Traps wherever possible. The best place for Incendiary Traps is in narrow pathways or directly underneath a Titan. Scorch is the best at dealing constant damage over time because of the spreading flame.

Use Northstar like you would your sniper rifle: it is a weapon and it takes a little bit more thought than when you’re equipped with an assault rifle. Northstar is equipped with Stryder chassis, attacking the enemy head-on is never a good idea. Take your time, learn the battlefield, and move carefully, but learn how to use your Tether Traps in order to keep attacking enemy Titans off of your back.

Ronin:

Damage: 2/3

Health: 1/3

Mobility: 3/3

Kit

Ricochet Rounds

The Leadwall’s rounds bounce off surfaces

Thunderstorm

Arc Wave has two charges

Temporal Anomaly

Phase Dash is available more often (shorter cooldown)

Highlander

Titan kills extend the duration of Sword Core

Gameplay Strategy:

With Ronin, always stay mobile like a Pilot. Ronin works well on maps with a great deal of tall cover, especially when your Titan is equipped with Ricochet Rounds. Being able fire around corners will keep your Titan protected, while dealing damage.

You always want to keep the enemy Titan guessing, so utilizing Phase Dash to the fullest should get you right in the enemy’s face where you can use your Titan Sword to attack and phase through to the other side and attack them from a different position.

Use Arc Wave when the enemy starts to get away from you, because the amount of damage that you can deal while they are running away.

Tone:

Damage: 3/3

Health: 2/3

Mobility: 2/3

Abilities

Salvo Core

Kit

Enhanced Tracker Rounds

Reinforced Particle Wall

Particle Wall lasts longer and blocks more damage

Pulse-Echo

After a short delay, Sonar Pulse echoes a second pulse

Rocket Barrage

Tracker Rockets fire two additional missiles.

Gameplay Strategy:

Tone is a Titan that is built for both offense and defense. Use Sonar Lock as often as you can and make sure to get a little bit of distance with it. This way you can see what you’re coming up against next.

Using the Particle Wall is something you must be particular about because setting it out in the open area of any map still allows it to be rotated around, thus bypassing the shield. Place the shield in narrow corridors or hallways, making it impossible to fire through or around.

Titans can walk through the Particle Wall, so back off and continue firing on the enemy to neutralize the threat.

Legion:

Damage: 3/3

Health: 3/3

Mobility: 1/3

Abilities

Smart Core

Automatic smart lock-on to targets

Close Range: Knocks back nearby enemies.Long Range: Damages all enemies in its path

Kit

Enhanced Ammo Capacity

Sensor Array

Smart Core lasts longer

Bulwark

Gun Shield blocks substantially more damage

Light-Weight Alloys

Move faster while the Predator Cannon is spun up

Gameplay Strategy:

Use Legion’s Gun Shield to push forward, while staying protected. Legion has a tough time moving while Predator Cannon is spun up, but using Light-Weight Alloys will give you the movement speed you need, while maintaining the offensive advantage over most Titans at distance

It is important to communicate with your team when you are pushing for any objective. Smart Core is one of best weapons, with timing it is so deadly. Think about the Smart Core like you would think about the Smart Pistol, as it basically works the same way.

Main difference is that instead of waiting for the weapon to lock, you can just keep firing to hit your targets.
